Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of a two-page spread from inside of the pressbook (we do NOT picture any supplements or heralds, if there are any included with this pressbook), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! UPDATED 8/23/2010: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this pressbook was from a 1960s re-release and NOT from the 1957 first release. Please do not bid thinking it is from the 1957 first release. Also, note that after Hepburn's huge success in MY FAIR LADY, Paramount re-released FUNNY FACE with a similar ad campaign to the original, but the posters had a pink background. None of the items give a re-release date, but two tell-tale signs of the re-release are that it is identified on some of the advertising as "A Paramount All Time Greatest Production!", and that a tagline on some of the advertising includes the phrase "...she's the fairest lady of all!", a direct reference to MY FAIR LADY. Sometimes, items from this undated re-release have been unknowingly sold as being from the original 1957 release, because they are undated and from Paramount, the original releasing studio. Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
